Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. what is the power supply of this model is it 100-240VAc?

A: The Mackie ProFX10v3 10-Channel Sound Reinforcement Mixer with Built-In FX includes a universal power supply that accepts any voltage ranging from 100 to 240 VAC.

Q: 2. Does this include the power cord to the mixer?

A: The Shure SCM268 utilizes a 3 pin IEC power connection with power cord included.

Q: 3. Does the USB have an auto mix-minus for audio coming from the computer, from something like a Zoom meeting?

A: The Mackie ProFX10v3+ Analog Mixer provides a loopback feature for computer audio coming back into the mixer via USB, which does function similarly to mix-minus. There is mix-minus available for remote callers connecting to an external device like a smartphone or tablet that is paired to the mixer via Bluetooth.

Q: 4. Does this unit have a 3.5mm jack for external headphones, or is there a proprietary connector?

A: The CP200D uses a two-prong connector for external headsets.

Q: 5. Can each channel be recorded as a separate track through the USB? Is a specific program or driver required?

A: The Mackie ProFX10v3 10-Channel Sound Reinforcement Mixer with Built-In FX only offers 2 inputs and 4 outputs via USB, so that would not provide full multi-track recording. If a full multi-track recording is required, the mixer would need to be paired with an audio interface that provides the needed number of input channels.

Q: 6. Can this mixer connect 6 microphones? If so, how to connect in line 5/6 or line 7/8?

A: No, the Mackie ProFX10v3 10-Channel Sound Reinforcement Mixer with Built-In Effects has only four mic preamps so it is intended for use with up to four microphones. In order to use the line level input channels (5/6 and 7/8) for microphones, you could use a separate mic preamp like the Rolls MP13 Mini-Mic Preamp (B&H # ROMP13) and connect its 1/4" output to the 1/4" inputs on the mixer. You can either use a 1/4" TS to 1/4" TS cable like the Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series 1/4" Male to 1/4" Male Instrument Cable- 3' (B&H # KOI3003) to connect to the mono (left) input on the mixer for a mono signal or use a Y-cable like the Hosa Technology Stereo 1/4" Male to 2 Mono 1/4" Male Insert Y-Cable - 3.3' (B&H # HOYCSPM2PM3) to connect to both the left and right inputs 5/6 and/or 7/8 for a stereo signal. As a better option, if you do not already have the ProFX10v3, you may want to consider the Mackie ProFX12v3 12-Channel Sound Reinforcement Mixer with Built-In FX (B&H # MAPROFX12V3) which is the model up from the ProFX10v3. The ProFX12v3 has seven input channels that can be used to connect microphones.

Q: 7. Can you solo tracks on this? Seems like a basic feature. If not which smaller mixers have it?

A: The Mackie ProFX10v3 10-Channel Sound Reinforcement Mixer with Built-In FX does not have individual "Solo" switches for each track. This features is implemented in Mackie's ProFXV3 line starting with the slightly larger Mackie ProFX12v3 12-Channel Sound Reinforcement Mixer with Built-In FX (BH #MAPROFX12V3): https://bhpho.to/3C84kGD
